1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a single transmembrane molecule uniquely expressed in microglia. TREM2 mutations are genetically linked to Nasu-Hakola disease and associated with multiple neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. TREM2 may regulate microglial inflammation and phagocytosis through coupling to the adaptor protein TYRO protein-tyrosine kinase-binding protein (TYROBP). However, there is no functional system for monitoring this protein-protein interaction. We developed a luciferase-based modality for real-time monitoring of TREM2-TYROBP coupling in live cells that utilizes split-luciferase complementation technology based on TREM2 and TYROBP fusion to the C- or N-terminal portion of the
